Exclusive Cougar Attack Video Highlights AmericanHunter.org’s “Whitetail Week” We’re not the only deer hunters in the woods, as an exclusive video featured during “Whitetail Week” at AmericanHunter.org reveals in up-close and personal footage. Editor in Chief J. Scott Olmsted obtained the video when he spent a week with Justin Dellinger, a PhD candidate at the University of Washington, who is studying how the presence of wolves on the 1.6-million-acre Colville Indian Reservation in northeast Washington affects prey and thus habitat. But wolves aren’t the only predator on this landscape, and one of Dellinger’s deer collar cameras captured a chilling attack launched by a hunter with lightning-fast reflexes.
The video is just one piece of deer-specific content filling AmericanHunter.org during “Whitetail Week.” With the United States being a country of whitetail hunters, the companion website to American Hunter magazine-an Official Journal of the National Rifle Association-dedicates the final week of each month this fall to features, videos, tips and gear articles all focused on our nation’s favorite game animal.
October marks the third installment of “Whitetail Week,” and there’s no shortage of high-quality, deer-centric coverage to go along with the aforementioned video.
What’s deer camp without a good argument over the best whitetail cartridge? American Hunter Field Editor Bryce Towsley has never been one to hide his opinion, so he figured he’d get things started. Slug loads get their due, too, as Karen Mehall Phillips examines new offerings from four key slug manufacturers that should help you seal the deal downrange. Meanwhile, Executive Editor Adam Heggenstaller takes a look at four packs that any deer hunter would be able to find a use for this fall.
American Hunter social media platforms will deal exclusively in the latest whitetail-related content throughout each event week. Readers can find all of the new whitetail coverage on the AmericanHunter.org Facebook, Twitter and Google+ accounts. An event-appropriate hashtag, #WhitetailWeek, is utilized on Twitter.
